"What's wrong?" Long Zimu, who had been following Ye Xiu, asked curiously after seeing Ye Xiu's expression.
"One person is missing!" Ye Xiu glanced at everyone and counted them silently again. There was indeed one person missing.
"What?" Everyone was suddenly startled. They also felt a chill running through their bodies. They all looked at each other, and then heard Li Shiyan's voice: "It's Brother Zhang Qiang, Brother Zhang Qiang is missing!"
Everyone felt the hairs on their bodies stand up. Zhang Qiang, this is Professor Li’s assistant and a student of Professor Li. The three professors were supported by Feng Zhennan, Chu Tianhe, and Ye Yuting and walked in the middle. Zhang Qiang and Li Shiyan
, Wang Zhong and others walked together, but now they are nowhere to be seen.
How can this not be scary?
Ye Xiu glanced at Long Zimu, who simply shook his head.
"Instructor, I didn't find anyone left behind!"
After turning around, he and Ye Xiu walked at the back, one on the left and one on the right. If someone really fell behind, they couldn't have missed it.
But now, a living person has just disappeared out of thin air.
How is this not shocking?
Ye Xiu didn't speak, he was just trying to recall all the details along the way.
When he returned before, he had silently counted the number of people. He was still sixteen years old at that time. When Zhang Qiang disappeared, he must have been on the way back, but how did he disappear?
Everyone else also held their breath, even Professor Li was silent at this moment.
It's really too weird here.
"When did you last see Zhang Qiang?" Ye Xiu looked at Li Shiyan and others.
They were all walking in the middle, and they were always walking with Zhang Qiang.
Everyone frowned and tried hard to recall the last moment they saw Zhang Qiang, but this passage was too weird. They were always shrouded in fear and just wanted to get out as soon as possible. For a moment, no one could recall the last time clearly.
When did you meet Zhang Qiang?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Ye Xiu understood that there would be no clues if he counted on them.
According to the current situation, the most appropriate plan is to send these people out first, and then look back for Zhang Qiang's whereabouts. However, they have been walking for so long and have not found the door they came from. If they continue walking, they may not find it at all.
Find a way out.
And it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Qiang, a living person, to disappear for no reason.
"Which way did Zhang Qiang go just now?" Ye Xiu pondered for a moment and asked again.
Since there is no way to go out right away, let's first investigate the reason for Zhang Qiang's disappearance, and maybe we can find a way out.
"This way!" Li Shiyan pointed to the right side of the passage and said.
They had been walking this way just now. Zhang Qiang saw that she was a girl and asked her to go closer to the middle, while he walked to the outside. As a result, he disappeared.
Ye Xiu didn't say anything, and strode to the wall on the right, using a searchlight to carefully observe the wall.
The walls are very smooth, without any marks.
Then he turned around and shot at the opposite wall. It was obviously a few meters away, but it was still pitch black.
"Zimu, come to the other side!" Ye Xiu said to Long Zimu.
"Yes!" Long Zimu nodded and hurriedly retreated to the wall. Even though Ye Xiu and he were holding flashlights, they couldn't see each other at all. In this case, someone suddenly disappeared.
It's really not easy to find.
"Professor, do you think we will keep going in circles?" Ye Xiu looked at Professor Hu.
"How is that possible? This corridor is obviously straight!" As a result, Wang Zhong jumped out again.
"It's very possible!" In the end, Professor Hu ignored his student's words and nodded lightly.
They walked for such a long time, let alone an ancient tomb, even an underground palace, they would have walked through it long ago. The only possibility is that they have been going in circles.
Wang Zhong opened his mouth, but did not dare to say anything more. He could question Ye Xiu, but he would never dare to question his teacher.
After receiving Professor Hu's approval, Ye Xiu took out his military dagger and carved a trace on the wall. If this was really a circle, he could always return to the starting point if he walked again.
What Ye Xiu didn't expect was that the traces were carved easily. As a result, the traces were repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a short time, they disappeared without a trace, as if they had never been there before.
Professor Hu also noticed this and frowned slightly!
The material of this wall is so weird that it even has an automatic repair function. How useful would this material be if it were taken outside?
"Zimu, get a spare searchlight, open it and put it in the corner!" Ye Xiu put the searchlight in his hand in the corner and said to Long Zimu who was opposite.
Long Zimu nodded, took out a brand new searchlight from his backpack, and placed it in the corner.
In this way, if they are really going in a circle, they will always come back. Just seeing these two flashlights can prove whether they are going in a circle!
"Should we continue forward now? Or backward?" Professor Hu nodded and admired Ye Xiu's carefulness.
It is rare to see young people who are so young and act so calmly.
"In the future, before returning, Zhang Qiang will still be there. No matter what the reason for his disappearance, there will always be some clues that can be found along this road!" Ye Xiu said.
Others nodded and were about to leave, but Ye Xiu spoke again.
"But we have to change our approach this time!"
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.
"Although it is difficult for the light in this passage to reach very far, the corridor is not very wide. With so many of us, we can line up in a row. If we carefully check the walls along the way, we might be able to find something!" Ye Xiu looked at the dark wall.
Noodles.
"It makes sense!" Professor Hu gave Ye Xiu a thumbs up. Whether he was walking in a circle or entering a maze, as long as everyone stood side by side, they could always find some clues.
Ye Xiu made an arrangement at that moment. He and Long Zimu walked on the two sides, and the other five members of the Huya Team were inserted in the middle of Professor Hu and his group. If there was any movement, they could provide immediate support.
In this way, everyone is almost next to each other, and they don't worry about anyone falling behind again.
The only trouble is that once there is danger in front or behind, Professor Hu and others may also face the danger head-on!
After arranging their formation, everyone turned around and continued walking in the same direction.
After only walking for about ten minutes this time, Ye Xiu stopped.
"What's wrong?" Li Shiyan, who was close to Ye Xiu, asked.
To be honest, she was always a little excited to be able to walk with Ye Xiu, which even made her forget a lot of her fears. Just because she was worried about Zhang Qiang, this excitement weakened a lot. When she saw Ye Xiu, she suddenly stopped
, said a little curiously.
"Look!" The searchlight in Ye Xiu's hand shone one meter in front of him.
People further away couldn't see it, but the people who were close to Ye Xiu could clearly see there was a shoe, a man's shoe...
